As long as a cultivator survived three heavenly tribulations, even if they didn't cultivate the Dao of Divination, they would still have a premonition of the heavenly secrets. Not to mention the fact that great cultivators would normally try to find ways to make up for this. Even if they could not devise ingenious strategies, at least they would not be able to devise ingenious strategies. They had sufficient energy and ability anyway. The Myriad Poison Ancestor was no different.
He could find a way to interfere with or even suppress the Myriad Poison Ancestor's premonition. A large part of the reason why the Myriad Poison Ancestor had suffered such a humiliating defeat was because Li Qingshan and Little Ann both possessed the ability to interfere with the heavenly secrets. Otherwise, how could Little Ann have succeeded with a sneak attack? Even if he was slightly stronger, he would still be overwhelmed by the Myriad Poison Ancestor. His life might even be in danger.
Among the various mysteries of the heavens, there was one that was the most difficult to interfere with, and that was the ability to sense one's own life and death. As the saying goes, 'life and death matters', many mortals who have experienced a lot of danger would be able to sense it, let alone a great cultivator who had cultivated for a thousand years and was aware of fate.
The Myriad Poison Ancestor's body had been destroyed, leaving behind only his soul nascence, so this premonition would only become sharper.
In other words, no matter what method Li Qingshan came up with to kill him, he would have enough time to react and explode his Nascent Soul.
"Doesn't that mean there's no solution?" Li Qingshan frowned slightly. He was a little annoyed. His Phoenix Nirvana might not even succeed. If he was not careful, he would really end up dying together with his opponent.
"There is still a solution …" The Banyan Tree King wanted to say something but stopped.
"Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist!" Li Qingshan cupped his hands.
"There's an old friend in the southern sea that's skilled in creating illusions. It's capable of causing one to fall into a state of confusion and make the fake become real. If he's willing to help, then this calamity can be easily resolved."
Ru Xin was concentrating on reading a book of poison, and she raised her head in surprise when she heard this. "Are you talking about the Mirage Sea Sea Sea King?"
"That's right. It's the Clam King of Mirage Sea," the Banyan Tree King said.
"Clam King of Mirage Sea."
Li Qingshan mumbled to himself. He had read about this name in a book before. Among the 72 Daemon Kings, he was the most mysterious one. Because he had always lived in a place called the "Mirage Sea" in the South China Sea, and never left the sea border, it seemed that he had not done any major events that affected the Nine Regions, so there were only a few records about him.
"With the Clam King of Mirage Sea's abilities, there's no one more suitable than this. I just need to lure this Myriad Poison into an illusion for a moment, and I'll have plenty of ways to deal with him. But will he help me? Are there any conditions? "
Li Qingshan was doubtful. While there were strong and weak Daemon Kings among the 72 Daemon Kings, as long as they had not ascended or died, and they had accumulated a few thousand years, they were basically at the level of the Dragon King Of The Sea. Even ten Myriad Poisons might not be able to defeat them, and ten Li Qingshan naturally might not be able to defeat them either. It was best not to provoke the dragon and tiger just to deal with the wolf and the fox, and end up in a hopeless situation.
"There's no need for any conditions. He'll definitely help you. Go to the South China Sea and look for him!" The Banyan Tree King changed his hesitant attitude Just Now and said with certainty.
"So you trust this Clam King of Mirage Sea so much."
Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. In the years he had known the Banyan Tree King, this old man had always left some leeway in his words. The world was unpredictable and unpredictable, and even with his intelligence, he could not predict everything. Only by leaving leeway could one be at ease, and it was very rare for him to be this resolute. He could not help but wonder.
Don't tell me the Clam King of Mirage Sea is actually a female daemon? There's something going on between the two of them? Heh, speaking of which, the South China Sea and the Mist province are right next to each other, and the two of them never leave their territory either, so it does seem like they're watching over each other from afar.
"Don't let your thoughts run wild! I understand his personality very well. As long as you claim to be my subordinate, he definitely won't make things difficult for you based on our many years of friendship, "said the Banyan Tree King.
Ru Xin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Qingshan. She wanted to say something, but the Banyan Tree King's voice rang out in her head. I know you come from the South China Sea. Don't say anything else!
How strange. He's even stopping me from saying anything. Though, the Banyan Tree King shouldn't harm him, so I'll just wait and see for now. Ru Xin thought. Coincidentally, Little Ann's clear, deep eyes looked over.
Ru Xin communicated, Don't tell me you've also received a warning from the Banyan Tree King?
Little Ann withdrew his gaze silently, basically tacitly agreeing to it. He fell into thought slightly.
There were only a few descriptions of the Clam King of Mirage Sea in the books that Li Qingshan had read.
According to the Banyan Tree King, there was no danger at all. However, the situation that Ru Xin and Little Ann knew was the exact opposite. The legends regarding the Mirage sea were a horror story that Ru Xin had heard since she was young. According to the information Xiao An had read, there were countless cultivators who had lost their lives there.
Unlike the Endless Trench and the Perpetual Daylight Sea, which were renowned for being dangerous in the South China Sea, the location of the Mirage sea was not fixed. Instead, it drifted freely in the South China Sea, which made it even more unpredictable.
Whether it was a mortal or a cultivator, a human or a mutant, once they entered, they would find it difficult to find a way back. There were also survivors who managed to escape, but everyone's description of the Mirage sea was different. Some said that it was a demonic island where ghosts and monsters roamed freely, while others said that it was a treasure mountain filled with gold and silver. This only added to the mysterious aura of the Mirage sea.
Because most of those who managed to escape were mortals, and not a single cultivator who was countless times stronger was able to escape, the mainstream view of the South China Sea cultivation world was, "The Clam King of Mirage Sea intentionally vomits! She will release the clam gas and lure cultivators into a strange and dazzling illusion. Then, she will devour their essence and refine their souls into the clam gas, increasing the power of the illusion. Mortals are too weak and are not valued. Instead, they have a chance to slip through the net. "
Thus, the Mirage sea was recognized as the number one forbidden ground in the South China Sea. It was even more dangerous than the Ink Sea in the Azure Province. Li Qingshan, who knew nothing about this, seemed to be walking towards the abyss with his eyes closed. It was too strange that the Banyan Tree King did not allow anyone to remind him of this.
"I'll have to rely on you again this time, fellow." Li Qingshan said in complete respect. After going through so much, he already trusted the Banyan Tree King very much.
"It's just a small matter, so there's no need to take it to heart. I'm already very surprised that you've managed to force the Myriad Poison Ancestor to this extent. "
"Then I'll return to my dwelling and recuperate first. Once I recover, I'll set off for the South China Sea in search of the Clam King of Mirage Sea." Li Qingshan stood up and bid farewell.
The Banyan Tree King said, "You can stay here and recuperate. I'll lend you a hand."
"Then I'll be troubling you, fellow. You can tell me what kind of daemon that fellow Shen is. I'll have a way to deal with her once I see her," Li Qingshan agreed happily.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Under the Banyan Tree King's assistance, Li Qingshan had basically recovered from his wounds. His exhaustion was all gone. This was all thanks to him finding the antidote, or just purging the poison would have taken ten times longer.
The Banyan Tree King passed a wooden sea map to Li Qingshan and pointed with his roots. "According to my calculations, the Mirage sea stops here right now. Go there quickly. Don't waste any time along the way, or who knows where you'll end up drifting to again."
Over the past few days, Li Qingshan had gained a rough understanding of the Clam King of Mirage Sea's personality from his conversations with the Banyan Tree King. He was filled with confidence about this trip. After thanking the Banyan Tree King again, he set off for the South China Sea with Little Ann in search of the Mirage sea.
The Banyan Tree King watched Li Qingshan vanish into the horizon. Ru Xin's voice rang out from beneath the tree. "I never thought the Clam King of Mirage Sea would actually be a very kind person despite her vicious reputation!"
"Who knows?" The Banyan Tree King's voice was filled with emotion.
"Who knows? Isn't he an old friend of yours? "Ru Xin asked curiously.
"The strangest old friend of mine, and while we're old friends, we're not exactly familiar with each other." The Banyan Tree King smiled.
"We're old friends, but we're not familiar with each other. Sure enough, it's very strange," Ru Xin said.
"The strangest part is that he still hasn't undergone the fourth heavenly tribulation. I originally thought he should have ascended three thousand years ago. Not only are we not familiar with each other, we don't even know if he's a man or a woman, as no one has ever seen his true form. Sometimes, he's extremely friendly, sometimes, he's filled with hostility. Even when Si toured the coast of the South China Sea, he made a great joke out of him. "The Banyan Tree King thought back to the matters from several thousand years ago in a leisurely manner.
"Si Si?" Ru Xin was taken aback. Only then did she remember who Si Si was. The founding emperor ruled over the nine provinces and toured the world. He had once visited the Mist province to visit the Banyan Tree King before descending south to the coast of the South China Sea. The subsequent emperors never did that again.
Ru Xin had left the South China Sea when she was young, so she did not know much about the Clam King of Mirage Sea. Now that she heard about all of this, she could not help but sigh. "In other words, this Clam King of Mirage Sea might not necessarily show respect to anyone. She's also so powerful that she doesn't have to show respect to anyone."
"You could say that," said the Banyan Tree King.
Ru Xin smiled. "Kid Li is in trouble this time."
"Why didn't you ask me why I didn't tell you to warn him?" asked the Banyan Tree King.
"You have your reasons, don't you? And, does he even need me to warn him? That kid seems crude, but he's actually very cunning. There aren't a lot of people he trusts. If the mighty Banyan Tree King wants to deal with someone in the Mist province, why would he send him to the distant South China Sea? Isn't that a very reasonable consideration? "said Ru Xin.
"It's no wonder he trusts you so much," said the Banyan Tree King.
"I just happen to understand how it feels to be unable to say certain things clearly. However, probably not everyone is as reasonable as me …" Ru Xin gazed at the horizon as a sliver of worry flashed through her eyes. "Little Ann is the person he trusts the most. He might not be willing to betray this trust. Most importantly, he's the only person she trusts. Whether it's the Banyan Tree King or herself, no matter how trustworthy they seem, they're all the same in her eyes. "
"That child really is as strange as you can be!" The Banyan Tree King sighed. "You didn't come looking for me just to tell me this, did you?"
"I have a question about the path of medicine that I want to ask you about. This also has to do with the success of the battle against Fire Melt mountain." Ru Xin immediately became respectful.
"Let's hear it."
After listening to Ru Xin's question, the Banyan Tree King fell silent for a very long time. "The strong prey on the weak. Although the strong prey on the weak is also the way of nature, your actions are far too unjust."
